Need 7 passenger seating and the Sorento has delivered. Used 3rd row quite a few times with children AND adults. No complaints, although 3rd ride was usually no more than one hour. see full Kia Sorento review

Not really comfortable for a long trip for an adult.... great for the dogs see full Jeep Wrangler review

4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range
The seats are not as comfortable as my trucks seats were. They are pretty basic but so is all of the interior of the Wrangler. It is made to get dirty, not look good or be comfortable. see full Jeep Wrangler review

4-speed automatic RWD
Still small, despite the increased size of the vehicle. see full Jeep Wrangler review
